I recently noticed that Eastlink did not renew its $2 discount on the French bundle. Yet the reason for giving the promotion in the first place has not changed- they still don't offer TSN alternate Montreal.

I also noticed that for customers getting "resolve" credits that more and more they are not extending them. I recently had 2 diff sets of discounts not renewed and more to come.

This is all happening at a time when Aliant FibreOp is picking at their subscriber base.

I wonder if there are many other subscribers noticing a similar trend ?

Got this notice on my bill: They just raised the price not more than a year ago by $3.00 so they have risen the price by $4 in less than a year.

Internet usage continues to grow, driven by online entertainment services and social media. We have enhanced our fibre optic network so that you receive the very best on-line experience. Due to the costs of these improvements, effective on your next statement there will be a $1.00 price increase.

I think this would go here since it involves a change in the internet packages...

The usage cap has been increased for EastLink customers in Ontario for "Internet 40" and "Internet 100" to 250 GB/month from the previous 100GB.

I checked my usage yesterday and noticed my percentage dropped for the month then I saw the change. I tweeted them about it and they confirmed it. I would suspect that this is probably a good sign that the 11 or so missing HD channels may be coming online for us very soon too.

I know this might be a "how long is a piece of string question" but do you find the 250GB/month enough? I use Netflix probably every other day, always on the HD setting, and use the internet mainly for surfing everynight. Sync a couple of smartphones in etc when I am home. Do you think I am going to have cap issues? Do you get close to the 250GB/month?

I found the 100GB enough for us. We don't do Netflix anymore. Maybe the odd torrent or two, surfing and some file downloads for peronsal and work use. I've had EastLink for internet since March 2011 and the most usage I've done is 74GB in one month.

It's been 250GB in NS for a long time. If you haven't reached it yet, you're probably OK, I think.

Thanks for the feedback on data usage. I made the change the other day and so far have barely used anything. I am going to use everything as normal and just keep an eye on it - can always switch back if I am a heavy user. I must admit I'm a little disappointed with the download speeds as I have not even broken 30Mbps on speed tests.
